Maxwell Public Schools

The Maxwell Public Schools district in Nebraska operates two schools: Maxwell High School and Maxwell Elementary School. While the high school has shown improvement in its statewide ranking over the past few years, both schools face challenges, with relatively high chronic absenteeism rates and overall performance below the state average.

Maxwell High School has made progress, moving from the bottom quarter of Nebraska high schools to the middle of the pack in recent years. However, it still ranks 167th out of 215 high schools statewide. In contrast, Maxwell Elementary School has maintained a consistent 2-star rating, performing at an average level compared to its peers. Both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, which could be a contributing factor to their overall performance.

Academically, Maxwell High School students outperformed the state average in 8th grade NSCAS Math, while Maxwell Elementary School students performed slightly above the state average in several NSCAS assessments. However, the Maxwell Public Schools district as a whole is ranked 133 out of 182 districts in Nebraska and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating there is room for improvement across the district.
